Hi, Susan Hayek, Linda Foulis, and I have started a project to do wiki pages for at least some of the Families of the genera represented on the wiki and are making sure that each genus page has a family listed for it. As I get into this I realize what a tricky business this is and am beginning to question my sanity. For instance some of our native California genera have been listed in Alliaceae, Liliaceae, Amaryllidacae, and Themidaceae. Even now you'll see them listed as Liliaceae or Themidaceae with that group Joe Shaw quoted as suggesting moving them back to Alliaceae. So I'm not sure what to do with them. Could any of you help me decide what to do with Arthropodium and Thysanotus? John Bryan's Bulbs puts them in Asphodelaceae, my Australian books put them in Liliaceae, and this helpful German site I found puts them in Anthericaceae with Pasithea and Anthericum . http://www.f-lohmueller.de/botany/phyta_0.htm It seems to reflect what the APG (Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) II, 2003. What family are most people using for these two? I'd be really grateful for any help with this. Mary Sue
